1. As women of faith, in the spirit of carmel, we freely respond
to the call of the Holy Spirit by striving to live the Gospel values of
Jesus in a contemplative lifestyle of prayer which incorporates a balance
of community with solitude and silence.

2. In response to the unfolding mystery of our Teresian charism within
the mission of the Church, we commit ourselves to evangelical self denial
and the pursuit of perfect charity. In the process of ongoing conversion,
both personally and communally, we are open to the Spirit in all of life
as we are continually transformed and called into the future.

3. We believe our contemplative life of prayer is both prophetic
and apostolic. Bonded in deep sisterhood we listen with creative fidelity
to the signs of the times and strive to witness authentically to the reign
of God through loving service to God's people, to all of creation and to
one another.
